Chapter 131Julian Cross ~•~ I got to my mom’s house. I asked Cole to also meet me there. They were the only ones I had to talk to about everything. I explained everything that was happening to them. Cole was disappointed that I didn’t tell him about it when it happened. My mom wasn’t surprised that Aiden turned out to be someone else’s son. I chuckled even though nothing was funny. “Why do you think so? And why didn’t you say anything?” My mother scoffed. “Someone who destroyed her best friend’s home is capable of something like that,” she answered. “I never trusted Harper for a second, but after the DNA test, I didn’t think there was any use in saying anything else.” I scratched my ear, letting out a sigh. “I understand where you are coming from. But if you had a bad feeling about it, you should have told me.” “This isn’t the time to talk about the past,” Cole chimed in on the conversation. “We have to think of what to do next.” I nodded. “Yes… That’s why I asked you to mee

Chapter 132Aria Blake~•~ “What do you mean by he already knew about it?” I asked, my mouth slightly open. “Are you sure you heard him correctly?” “Of course, he admitted to everything,” Julian replied as he paced around the office. When Julian had asked me to meet him at his office, I wasn’t expecting him to throw such an unexpected bombshell at me. I still found it hard to believe. It didn’t make any sense. There was no way that Aiden would have known about Jason’s true identity and kept it a secret all this time. It could have accidentally slipped out of his mouth. Kids loved talking and it was weird that he never mentioned it. “What exactly did he say?” I asked, perplexed. Julian exhaled sharply. “He said that his mother told him about it at his last birthday party, but she made him promise to keep it a secret or he was going to get in trouble.”I buried my face in my palm. I felt so embarrassed on Harper’s behalf. I was also disappointed in myself for keeping someone l

Chapter 133Aria Blake~•~ What was my business if Samuel was in New York? We weren’t together anymore, so I was confused about what to do with the information he just told me. I let out a deep exhale to calm my nerves. He thought he could hurt me and ask to see me out of the blue and pretend like everything was normal? The thought of him cheating on me with another woman made my blood boil. “Samuel, I don’t take your calls. What makes you think I would want to see you?” I asked, my voice cold. “I know I don’t have the right to demand to see you anymore, but please, just give me a chance to explain myself.” My grip tightened around the phone. “There’s no point. I don’t want to hear anything. We are over and I don’t think you should talk to me anymore.” “Aria… come on.” He sounded disappointed. What exactly was he expecting? He thought I would run to meet him as soon as he told me he was in my city? He was really delusional then. “I’m hanging up.” “Wait, wait…” he exclaimed

Chapter 134Aria Blake~•~ When I got back home, I saw a strange car parked in my driveway. I was confused for a moment. The car didn’t look like one of Julian’s cars, and he was the only one who could show up to my house unannounced. Just as I was about to pull out my phone to call Julian, the front door of the car swung open. My heart skipped when I saw it was Samuel. How did he get past the gate? I slid my phone back into my bag as he approached me. What was he doing at my house after I told him that I wasn’t interested in seeing him? I turned around and made my way to the gate. The security guards knew they had fucked up when they saw how I stormed over there. “Why did you let him inside without my permission?” I asked, unable to mask the anger in my voice. “Are you tired of your jobs?” They apologized and said they only allowed him because they thought we were still together. I rolled my eyes and faced Samuel instead. “I didn’t think I would ever see you again in my li

Chapter 135Julian Cross ~•~ A knot formed in my stomach as I drove back home. It was hard to believe that Aria would choose that man over me. It took a lot of courage to stop myself from creating a scene back at Aria’s house. My jaw locked as I remembered how he laughed with the twins. He held them like they belonged to him. I felt like hitting him across the face, but I didn’t want to lose my temper in front of my kids. My grip tightened around the steering wheel and my knuckles almost turned white. Words couldn’t describe how upset I was. Did the kiss mean nothing to Aria? I knew it didn’t last, but didn’t she feel something when I kissed her back at the office? I felt something and I thought she would go back home and think about it, then realize how much she wanted me. But I was wrong. Aria didn’t want me. The reason she pushed me away was because of Samuel. Who even knew how long he had been in New York for? I thought they had broken up? What was he doing at her hou

Chapter 136Aria Blake ~•~ After Samuel eventually left, I went into the house. I didn’t find the kids in the living room, so I went to their bedroom. “Is Samuel downstairs?” Owen asked excitedly. “We’ve missed him so much,” Isla added. I let out a deep breath and sat down on the couch across from them. I needed to tell them the truth about Samuel and me. I didn’t want them to think that he was still a part of their lives. It was going to hurt them but they deserved to know. “There’s something I have to tell both of you,” I began, clearing my throat. “I should’ve said it a long time ago, but I didn’t know how to say it.” Isla had a terrified expression. It was as though she automatically knew that something was wrong. Owen’s expression was unreadable. I let out a deep exhale. “Samuel and I are no longer together, and you won’t be seeing him anymore,” I said, my voice almost inaudible. “He wasn’t meant to come here today either.” Owen’s eyes widened. “But he said that we wo

Chapter 137Julian Cross ~•~ I appreciated Aria for showing up at the hospital, but she clearly made her choice. And I felt she was only saying those things to comfort me because I got into an accident and she blamed herself. I didn’t believe that she asked Samuel to leave, or that he even showed up at her house unannounced. How did he pass through the gate with his car if he didn’t do it with her knowledge?I was tired of fighting for something that wasn’t ever going to happen. It was high time I snapped out of my delusions. Aria sat beside me in silence. I’d asked her to leave and was confused about why she was still sitting down on the bed. I reached for my phone and texted Cole to come back to the room. It took a while before he returned. “I’m ready to go,” I said, sitting upright. I felt a sharp pain in my back but it was nothing serious and I could manage it. Cole looked at me like he didn’t want me to leave while Aria was still in the room. “Are you sure it’s a good i

Chapter 138Aria Blake ~•~ “Do you think I still like him?” I asked Claire, unable to hold her gaze. “I mean, why is everything bothering me? Why is his silence bothering me?” Claire let out a sharp exhale. “You were once in love with him. He is the father of your kids, and I won’t be completely surprised if you still have feelings for him.” I leaned closer. “So does this mean that you aren’t judging me?” I asked quietly. “And I don’t know if I have feelings for him, I just know that I still have a soft spot for him.” Claire laughed. “You’re not being honest with yourself and me,” she replied. I tilted my head. “How?”“You still have feelings for him. Those feelings you suppressed are finally starting to manifest,” she said with certainty in her voice. “And I’m not going to judge you if you still like Julian.” “Really? Why?” “Before Harper ruined everything, you and Julian were everyone’s dream couple. You kept talking about how much you were in love and how you made the best

Epilogue Aria Blake ~•~ONE YEAR LATER! The warm Italian breeze brushed against my skin as I stood on the balcony, staring at the beautiful view in front of me. Everything felt perfect. I rested my hand against the railing and took a deep breath. A year ago, I never imagined that my life would look like this. So much had changed. I had changed. I smiled to myself as I thought about everything that had happened the previous year. “Enjoying the view?” Julian’s voice echoed behind me and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I melted into his touch. “Maybe,” I teased. With a deep exhale, he placed his head on my shoulder. “I’m so happy that you agreed to come on this trip…” he murmured.My smile deepened. “I was only stalling because of the kids. I didn’t want to come without them.” He spun me around so I could face him. “You don’t have to worry about them. They’re in safe hands.” The kids were with my mom. And it took a lot of convincing from my mom and sister before I finally
